This is the story of ten cases that changed that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1971, a blind eight-year-old in Boston discovered he could whistle into a telephone and place free long-distance calls. In 1986, an astronomer at Berkeley traced a 75-cent accounting discrepancy to a West German intelligence operation. In 1988, a Cornell graduate student released a program that took down ten per cent of the internet by accident. In 1995, a Russian mathematician with no internet connection at home moved ten million dollars out of Citibank. In 1998, the United States Deputy Secretary of Defense told a Senate committee that the most coordinated attack on Pentagon networks ever recorded had been conducted by two teenagers in California.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Hacker Chronicles is a narrative history of cybercrime, drawn from court records, contemporary press accounts, published memoirs, and the established historical literature. The ten cases that follow - Captain Crunch, the 414s, the Cuckoo's Egg, the Morris Worm, the Citibank heist, Solar Sunrise, and four others - are the cases that made cybersecurity necessary as a discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe series continues in Volume Two: Going Pro (1999-2010), Volume Three: Going Geopolitical (2010-2020), and Volume Four: Going Strategic (2020-2025).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":67045009064240,"sku":"BD1w4b","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/1w4b-Square-cover.png?v=1782118091","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-1w4b","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
